How to Pick the Perfect Sunscreen for Your Kids

Follow these guidelines to find the perfect match for your child’s needs.

Look for These Key Features:

  • Broad-Spectrum Protection: Ensures defence against both UVA and UVB rays, enhanced by non-nano mineral-based UVA/UVB protection.
  • Mineral-Based Formula: Uses zinc oxide or titanium dioxide for safer, gentler coverage.
  • Water-Resistant Options: Ideal for active kids who love swimming or playing outdoors. Look for the highest level of water resistance for up to 80 minutes.
  • Lightweight & Non-Greasy: Absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky residue, thanks to a lightweight feel that never stings or runs.
  • Sensitive Skin Compatibility: Hypoallergenic formulas reduce the risk of irritation, with soothing ingredients like Shea Butter and Glycerin that deeply hydrate the skin and help maintain its moisture barrier.

Avoid These Ingredients:

  • Oxybenzone: A chemical linked to hormone disruption and skin allergies.
  • Parabens: Preservatives that may irritate sensitive skin.
  • Synthetic Fragrances: Can cause allergic reactions and are often unregulated.
  • Octinoxate: Harmful to marine life and potentially disruptive to human health.
  • PABA (Para-Aminobenzoic Acid): Known to cause skin sensitivity in children.

Tips for Proper Sunscreen Application on Children

  • Start Early: Apply sunscreen 15–30 minutes before heading outdoors to allow it to bind effectively to the skin. For your infants, you can opt for a low-toxic sunblock specifically designed for delicate skin.
  • Cover All Areas: Don’t forget sensitive spots like ears, neck, hands, and the back of the knees. Use a generous amount to ensure complete coverage. Our 360-degree continuous mist ensures even application, even in hard-to-reach areas.
  • Use Enough: Use about a shot glass worth (or 1 ounce) for their entire body and a teaspoon-sized amount for their face and neck.
  • Reapply Regularly: Reapply every two hours, or more frequently if your child is swimming or sweating. Pair with broad-spectrum SPF for added protection.
  • Layer with Other Protection: Combine sunscreen with hats, sunglasses, and UV-protective clothing for comprehensive sun care.

FAQ Concerning Kids' Sunscreen

Q1: At what age can I start using sunscreen on my child?

It’s generally safe to use sunscreen starting at six months old. For babies younger than six months, focus on shade and protective clothing. If needed, consult your pediatrician and use low-toxic sunblock on exposed areas.

Q2: Is mineral or chemical sunscreen better for kids?

Mineral sunscreens, made with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, are safer and gentler for children’s sensitive skin than chemical alternatives. Opt for a low-toxic, mineral-based sunscreen whenever possible.

Q3: Can kids use the same sunscreen as adults?

While some adult sunscreens may work, choosing a product specifically formulated for children’s delicate skin is best. Our Kids Sun Care Collection offers options designed with kids in mind, featuring cruelty-free and vegan formulations.

Q4: How much sunscreen should I apply on my child?

Use about a shot glass worth (or 1 ounce) for their entire body and a teaspoon-sized amount for their face and neck to ensure proper coverage.

Q5: How often should I reapply sunscreen on kids?

Reapply every two hours, or immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel-drying. Pair with other sun care essentials from our collection for added protection. 

Q6: Can sunscreen be used on a baby under six months old?

It’s best to avoid direct sun exposure for infants under six months. If needed, consult your doctor and use a minimal amount of low-toxic sunblock on exposed areas.
